Ranjit Kumar Tulabandu 71061e9332 Row based multi-threading of encoding stage
(Yunqing Wang)
This patch implements the row-based multi-threading within tiles in
the encoding pass, and substantially speeds up the multi-threaded
encoder in VP9.

Speed tests at speed 1 on STDHD(using 4 tiles) set show that the
average speedups of the encoding pass(second pass in the 2-pass
encoding) is 7% while using 2 threads, 16% while using 4 threads,
85% while using 8 threads, and 116% while using 16 threads.
